Nectarine Tarte Tatin image

From June 2006 Cooking Light magazine. This impressive-looking dessert is a tasty way to showcase nectarines. Using a stainless steel skillet makes it easier to see when the sugar has caramelized, but you can use a non-stick pan. You'll use the same skillet to prepare the tarte tatin like an upside-down cake, layering pie dough over the fruit and finishing it in the oven. The tart is great served warm with low-fat vanilla ice cream.
